Hi,

is there any chance with Vimalin to backup a running VM with enabled auto protect snapshots ?

Thanks

Rudy


Hi Rudy,

VMware does not provide an API (programming interface) to control or monitor the auto protect snapshot feature.
There is no way to pause auto protect snapshots or to determine exactly when the next one will run.

As such they are incompatible with Vimalin. If VMware Fusion would trigger an auto protect snapshot while Vimalin is actively making a backup, your backup would be worthless.

Sadly the answer boils down to not compatible.
